Project 1-3-04-05/06: Assessment of biological effects induced by oxidative stress

Project Leader: Professor Michael Moore

Duration of Project: July 2006 - June 2009

Project Summary

This project seeks to determine the association of exposure to environmental contaminants with elevated urinary and plasma BOMs (bilirubin oxidative metabolites) in a mouse model, with a view to establishing the assessment of urinary and plasma BOMs as molecular biomarkers to early response to oxidative stress in mammals and aquatic organisms.
